A model organism is a species studied fervently by scientists in the hopes of the results being able to be carried over to other organisms. For instance, rats are studied and experimented on, with the results carrying over to humans.

What is a fruitfly?
Fruitfly, scientifc name Drosophila melanogaster (dew-loving black-belly), is a model organism used in biological studies. Since they are small, easy to reproduce, has a decoded genome and has many mutant strains, it is most oftenly used in genetics and molecular biology studies involving a model multicellular eukaryotic organism. Other model organisms include Arabidopsis thaliana, a model multicellular plant, zebrafish, a model fish, rats and mice, model mammals, Escherichia coli, a model bacteria, saccharomyces cerevisiae (yeast), a model unicellular eukaryote, and T4 phage, a model virus.

Which type fossil is formed when an organism gets trapped in a developing rock layer and then decays away leaving an imprint of what the organism looked like?
A mold is a fossil created by the encasement of an organism in rock, where the organism decays away after solidification of the encasing structure, leaving behind an impression of the original organism. An additional stage is a cast, where the mold is back filled by sedements to create a solid model of the original organism.

What three criteria did Thomas Hunt Morgan look for in a model organism for geneic studies?
Genes are passed from their parents to their offspring. Mendel's principles apply to all organism. Genes that come from their parents are segregate from each other when gametes are formed
